Based on 6 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly
➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🔻
Below peak — only 55% of 2.8Y high
55% of all-time peak
Only 6 funds hold NIPG today versus a peak of 11 funds at 2025 Q2 — just 55% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 45% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
5 fewer hedge funds hold NIPG compared to a year ago (-45% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 50% buying
3 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 3 funds bought or added vs 3 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️

🔄
Mostly new holders — 0% entered in last year
■ 17% conviction (2yr+)
■ 83% medium
■ 0% new
Only 1 funds (17%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +20%, value -55%
Last quarter: funds added +20% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -55%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
7 → 0 → 3 → 1 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 3 → 1 → 1. NIPG is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
